What this sandwich is; mouthwateringly tasty, crispy yet doughy, sweet yet savory, so moorish, full of complimenting flavors and definitely THE BEST sandwich I have ever made. What this sandwich isn't; something you would have ever day, low in fat, gluten free and low in calories. BUT. Do Make it. Do eat it. You wont regret it.

There is no need for nutritional values with this bad boy, just simply savor and enjoy it.

It was inspired by my little bother, the veg, the carb & the meat eater.

INGEDIENTS

For one hearty sandwich:

1 bagel. Any color, flavor & texture.

2 tbs mayonnaise

handful of basil

1 chicken breast

1/2 cup bacon pieces or strips

1/4 cup baby tomatoes

3 sun dried tomatoes

2 spring onions

mixed baby greens

salt

pepper

olive oil

METHOD

Firstly, make your scrumptious mayonnaise. Put two tablespoons of mayonnaise of your choice in a ramekin. Roughly chop the basil and add as little or as much as you would like, depending on how strong you would like the flavor to be. Season heavily with coarse sea salt and black pepper.

The sun burnt tomatoes are (almost) my favourite part in this sandwich. They add a bitter sweet burst of flavor as the tender skin pops, the juices run through the sandwich and soak into the bagel.

Slice each of the baby tomatoes in half. Place on a baking tray covered with greaseproof paper. Sprinkle over sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Cook in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for 15 minutes, until juicy and tender.

Next, add the chopped bacon to a pan on medium heat and leave to sizzle away until they are crispy & burnt pink in colour. Poor the bacon on to some kitchen towel to soak up all the excess fat.

Place a griddle pan on high heat. Lightly coat the pan with olive oil, salt & pepper. Slice the chicken breast horizontally down the middle so that cooking time is reduced. When the griddle pan is piping hot add the chicken. Half way through cooking(about 6/7 minutes), flip the chicken breasts and add the bagel to toast. Flip the bagel after 3/4 minutes and leave to toast. The bagel and the chicken should be ready at the same time.
